"General, don't …"
He did not intend to let go, and was amazed at the endless desire in his body.
He had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, thinking that he had lost all traces of his so-called desire to be a person, and would not understand the wonders of love between men and women. He did not expect that when he was facing Su Zhi, he would actually be like a kid who had experienced love, and had a weird urge.
"Don't be afraid. If you don't want to, I won't do anything to you."
It wasn't that he didn't want to, it was just that he felt it was too fast.
Su Zhi did not push him anymore and let him continue wringing her hair after he was done with his naughtiness.
Xiao Qian didn't overwork himself with her effort. He waited for his hair to dry before he picked her up and put her on the bed.
It took Su Zhi so long to realize that her two children were actually not in bed.
It was likely that his mother knew that Xiao Qian would come and brought him to her room to take care of him.
"Leave the matters of your store to me. No matter what, I don't need to care about the rumors. Just relax."
Su Zhi nodded. She was extremely sleepy and did not say anything to reject his good intentions.
"I'll go back first. I'll come see you tomorrow."
"Mm, be careful on the way."
He looked at the woman lying on the bed with her eyes wide open and couldn't help but laugh. He leaned over and kissed her forehead, then left after she completely lost consciousness.
Mother Ding had been paying attention to what was going on next door, but after listening for a long time, she still couldn't hear anything. She thought it had been a long time since they last saw each other.
He was about to get up to take a look when he saw that Xiao Qian had already opened the door and left.
Mother Ding watched him leave before locking the door again.
It was a good night. At dawn the next day, Su Zhi woke up quietly. Mrs Ding had already prepared breakfast, and the two children were already awake. They stood outside the door and secretly observed the situation in Su Zhi's room.
"My two little babies, come in quickly."
After Su Zhi had put on her clothes, A Jin came in with a small bean bag in her hand, asking for a good morning kiss.
"Mother, you came back so late these few days. My sister and I can't see you."
A Jin snuggled up to Su Zhi like a spoiled child, pouting as if she was wronged.
She nodded her head emphatically as she said, "Daddy ~ Daddy ~ ~"
Su Zhi kissed the two children from left and right, feeling a little guilty.
There was no end to the money, but the two children had lost their fathers, and the lack of maternal love was pitiful.
After the store had gotten out of the limelight, she decided to take the kids for a walk. She also wanted to find out more about the academy, so she could prepare for A Jin to go to school.
After a hasty breakfast, Su Zhiyi reluctantly confessed her two children.
Now that Elementary Scholar Li was caught, she was the only one in charge of the store, so she had to follow suit.
It was almost noon, and the 100 Flavors of Clear Harmony had already completed its normal business. It seemed like it wasn't much loss since Elementary Scholar Li had broken the equipment, but Yu Zhanhong's aggressive attitude yesterday clearly showed that he was trying to trick her to death.
Su Zhi couldn't help but have a headache. She really didn't know how to deal with this troublesome master.
"Qiu Hong, come over here for a moment."
Hearing this, Qiu Hong, who was busy counting the goods, quickly raised her head. "Boss, you called me?"
Su Zhi glanced at the restaurant full of people and felt unbalanced. "Go ask Manager Yu to come over and tell him that I want to discuss compensation with him."
"Alright, I'll go now."
"Wait a moment, prepare lunch and send it over to Brother Li. He's just a weak scholar, he must have never suffered in prison before. "
Qiu Hong nodded. "Don't worry, Boss. I've already had Shuang'er prepare."
Only then did Su Zhi relax. No matter what, she could not delay matters of pleasure. It had to be resolved as soon as possible.
Not long later, Qiuhong called Yu Zhanhong over.
What was different from yesterday was that he didn't bring too many people to strengthen his aura. Besides him, there wasn't even a personal attendant.
What was different from usual was that his expression was a little ugly. It seemed that he was secretly enduring his grievance as he stared at Su Zhi with fear in his eyes.
"Hello, Manager Yu."
He nodded slightly, his expression too stiff.
According to his way of doing things, he should have used both hard and soft methods to make Hua Manlou pay for the loss of money. However, he remained silent and did not say a word.
Su Zhi invited Yu Zhanhong to the VIP room on the second floor and had him serve some fruits and tea while thinking about how to start the conversation.
They had to pay him back, but they had to release him as well. It was a lesson to be locked up for a whole day, and the Hundred Flavors Clear Joyous was the first to do something to hurt him, so they couldn't blame him for that.
After thinking for a moment, she cleared her throat and said, "I've roughly finished looking through the accounts that Yu Zhanhong handed me yesterday. First of all, we do have something wrong with Flowerwood, and I must apologize to you for that. However, we all open our doors to do business, so it's normal for us to have a fight. Look, Brother Li has already been inside for so long, shouldn't he send us off as well? "
He remained silent as he listened to her words with an indifferent expression.
"Regarding the compensation, we will accept it as well. However, if you calculate the total amount, we will need to accompany you for more than 1,700 taels of silver. This is too..." To be honest, since the start of the store's business, its net profit has not been that high. It really can't be taken out. "
Su Zhi wanted to play an emotional card with Yu Zhanhong, but Yu Zhanhong still did not respond. Even if she had a stomach full of schemes, she could not use them.
What was going on with this man today?
"Manager Yu?"
Yu Zhanhong took a deep breath and clenched his fist tightly under his sleeve, but he held it in and didn't dare to let it go.
"Then tell me, Lady Su, how exactly do you want to compensate?"
Su Zhi opened the account book, took out a brush and drew a circle on the admitted part, then forked the other parts that couldn't be accepted. Even so, he still had to pay a large amount of silver coins.
"What do you think of this? The things in your shop can be repaired. We'll get some craftsmen to do it. Those that cannot be repaired, we will repay the cost. As for those precious wines that you all have mentioned, we will accompany you as you wish. Finally, there's Yuan Ming's medical fees. We've specially invited the people from the infirmary to come and see him, and we'll bear all the expenses. In addition, we'll accompany him for another ten silver taels.
This plan of Su Zhi's really did not cause the Lovers' Gourmet to suffer the slightest loss. She only protected Hua Manlou to the greatest extent. She thought that Yu Zhanhong wouldn't agree if he insisted, but she didn't expect him to actually nod his head and agree.
"I'll do as you say."
Su Zhi blinked her eyes in disbelief. "Shopkeeper Yu agreed?"
Yu Zhanhong gritted his teeth, nodded with extreme pain, and said in a deep voice, "I agree! "Farewell!"
He stood up, grabbed the account book from the table and left without looking back.
Just like that? So easy to talk to?
Qiuhong was also surprised. Yu Zhanhong was known for his meticulous planning, would he give in on this matter? It was the first time he had heard of it.
"Boss, did he really agree?"
Su Zhi also felt that something was off. She watched his back as he left and fell into deep thought.
The man who was rolling on the ground while clutching his heart in pain on the Hundred Flourishing Flower private room roared towards the sky, "What a sinner!" "Pity there's no one above me ~ My silver ~"
Yuan Ming flipped through the account book in his hand, unable to close his jaw in shock.
"You're in charge. You agreed just like that? You gave me ten taels of silver for such a small compensation? "
Yu Zhanhong's heart was twitching in pain, and his heart was still in pain. It was real silver! It was still a good opportunity to destroy Flower Mansion!
Gone, everything was gone!
Who asked the person behind her to be the Great General Xiao! I can't fight, no one! "
Yu Zhan Hong still remembered the scene last night when Xiao Qian came to visit him with a sword in his hand. He said that he had heard of his father's name for a long time, but in reality, it was just a disguised threat!
Who would be so thickheaded as to bring twenty to thirty elite soldiers without a gift? This was so infuriating!
Holding the account book, Yuan Ming cried out, "Then wouldn't I have nothing left to earn?"
"Earning my ass!" Does General Xiao know? The popular people around the current emperor! Lu Li had the Liu Family General and the Xiao Family General, so how could you afford to offend them? "You must be tired of living!"
